In the restricted shortest paths problem, we are given a graph $G$ whose edges are assigned two non-negative weights: lengths and delays, a source $s$, and a delay threshold $D$. The goal is to find, for each target $t$, the length of the…

We abstract and study \emph{reachability preservers}, a graph-theoretic primitive that has been implicit in prior work on network design. Given a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ and a set of \emph{demand pairs} $P \subseteq V \times V$, a…

In the dynamic Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem, we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ subject to edge insertions and deletions and a source vertex $s\in V$, and the goal is to maintain the distance $d(s,t)$ for all $t\in V$.…

While in many graph mining applications it is crucial to handle a stream of updates efficiently in terms of {\em both} time and space, not much was known about achieving such type of algorithm. In this paper we study this issue for a…

We consider the fundamental problems of determining the rooted and global edge and vertex connectivities (and computing the corresponding cuts) in directed graphs. For rooted (and hence also global) edge connectivity with small integer…

We revisit the classic problem of dynamically maintaining shortest paths between all pairs of nodes of a directed weighted graph. The allowed updates are insertions and deletions of nodes and their incident edges. We give worst-case…

We study the decremental All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in undirected edge-weighted graphs. The input to the problem is an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G$ with non-negative edge lengths, that undergoes a sequence of edge deletions.…

Consider the following "local" cut-detection problem in a directed graph: We are given a seed vertex $x$ and need to remove at most $k$ edges so that at most $\nu$ edges can be reached from $x$ (a "local" cut) or output $\bot$ to indicate…
